The vocational and Technical Education Department is the oldest department at T-SAP. The college initially began as a vocational school in 2008. Later several professional certificates were added. The 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) affected every aspect of the Liberian society including the vocational school which closed down due to low enrollment and financial difficulty.
In 2018 Dr. Urey and his team of Administrative staff decided to maintain the vocational and educational department as part of T-SAP. The curriculum is divided into three secession.
The first part consists of six months intensive training focusing on fundamentals with 80 percent practical and 20 percent theory. During the second term, students take advance level training with practical. Students who performed well in the first and second terms are sent for internship for additional training. We developed a detailed internship evaluation form, which we sent to our internship providers. The forms detail the student’s knowledge and attitude during the performance of their internship. T-SAP currently offers the following vocational training programs:

To increase our global outreach, T-SAP partners with the Confucius Institute at the University of Liberia to offer Chinese Language free of charge. Qualified Chinese Instructors tutor interested students in writing and speaking Chinese. The HSK Standards course one is designed to develop the Chinese language skills required for beginners who use Chinese as a second language and Chinese learners who are preparing to take the HSK (Level 1) exam. It mainly includes Chinese Pinyin spelling and simple topic conversation. This course improves students’ basic knowledge of spoken Chinese. Through rigorous listening and reading practices as well as oral presentations, students are equipped with adequate vocabulary and sentence construction skills in order to improve their fluency in Chinese language’s daily conversations.
